Happy Haunting

Hi bloggers!  I have used the Halloween Frame again as the base for this card.  I cut it in black, then nipped away the pumpkins in the lower corner.  I selected a piece from my background stash to use as a background.  I used Lava Red and  Burnt Orange Pixie Powders on it.  I cut the Haunted House in black and added a yellow backing to show through the windows.  I glued the Haunted House on to the background then added the frame over it with mounting foam. I cut just the mummy from the Halloween frame in white and then used Weathered Wood Distress ink to age him, then glued him on top of the original.   I cut several of Jamie's Graveyard gates and added some crows (or ravens) to it.  I cut the divider columns in the gate pieces in slate grey card and glued them on top.  I added several bats cut out of black gloss card as well as the Happy Haunting sentiment, which I glued to the top of the frame.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Great card, although you could make it and place it in a window with lights behind which I think will be fun. WakeyL

Hi Sue, for someone who is not a fan of Halloween I am enjoying your cards and I really like today's spooky night time scene with the walking dead mummy.

Such a sad time for our nation and there is a very subdued feel to my neighbourhood this morning. I have always had the greatest respect for the Queen and am glad that she had a peaceful ending. Ever in my thoughts, RIP Your Majesty.

Hi Sue. When I used to sell my cards I used to be quite successful with my Halloween cards and I am sure that cards like this would have been very popular. It has all the elements to make a very scary card. Perfect for the occasion.

I love the Halloween collection and think its so awesome that you have ventured into this holiday with these fabulous dies like no one else could. I think this card is a very good reason that I said the later. After Christmas, Halloween cards are my favorite to make.
Very sad for my UK friends,
